My New Book: ‘The Pathfinder’

Mark Hastings books, Podcast, Poetry , , , , , , , , , , , ,
“Life is never a straight path. Everybody sometimes finds themselves at a crossroads of space and time. Everything and everyone is connected. When life can sometimes feel impossible to understand and hard to navigate, everybody needs to seek out a Pathfinder of poetry who can help to show them the way.”

Mark is very happy to announce that his new poetry collection, The Pathfinder, is now available to order in paperback from Amazon. The Pathfinder is a book about beginnings, endings, new beginnings – in essence: life… the poetry of life. The Pathfinder is Mark’s poetic and personal journey of discovery over the last year – but within there are verses and poems from his past that he had forgotten about, which still speak to the poetic truth within him, and within all of us throughout our lives.Get your copy of the paperback version of The Pathfinder from Amazon now: https://amzn.eu/d/aXnSwxa

The complete short story “The Man in Green” from Mark’s 2018 short-story collection, ‘Playing God’, about a young man by the name of Paul Arthur Newton, who, since he was a boy, has been best friends with the enigmatic, “God of the Wilderness”, Pan – who he regularly meets with and writes about in his journal, while enjoying the natural splendour of Chantry Woods, near his home. However, one day, while Paul and Pan are enjoying each others company, Paul is shown another side of Pan that concerns him – and when a “Man in White” arrives, claiming to be Pan’s father, Paul is given a opportunity to learn more about Pan, about the “Man in White”, and about why people, as well as gods, do what they do. ‘Playing God’ is a collection of “Seven stories… Seven perspectives… Seven experiences… about One Man in Black, one Man in White… Seven morality tales of one immortal Rebel, Hero, Friend, Fan, Father, Son, Playing, God”.
